Truly, this property is exceptional in every respect. SELLER'S INSIGHT Old House is a mediaeval hall house, which was extended significantly during the Tudor period and is still full of fascinating architectural features. When we bought Old House twenty-one years ago it was badly in need of modernisation. During our first evening, after moving in with our large, young family, we collapsed in an exhausted heap on whatever piece of furniture we could find and started to think about food. Then, within five minutes, the electricity went off and the heating system packed up. It was December and the outside temperature was freezing. We could do nothing but go to bed so we all stumbled upstairs in the darkness wrapped in whatever clothing and bedding we could find and tried to sleep in the freezing cold. We woke the next morning to brilliant Winter sunshine melting the ice on the inside of the windows and that was the start of two decades of hard work to turn Old House into the wonderful combination of old and new that it has become today.We wanted to retain all of the character and quirkiness of the original house whilst creating a modern home with up-to-date technology. This involved a complete restoration of the fabric of the building – new doors and windows, repairs to the oak frame, replacing modern cement render with lathes and lime plaster, adding insulation. We had to rebuild all three of the chimneys, repair the roof and remove ugly dormer windows. From the outside Old House now looks as it would have done five hundred years ago. On the inside it is a modern home with intact original features. The plumbing is new, including modern boilers and six bathrooms with power showers. The electrical system is almost entirely new and hyper fast broadband installed. Most of the plastering has been replaced and new oak floors laid. We believe that Old House is now in as good a condition as a house of its age can be.Most importantly though this is a house that provides a wonderful lifestyle, and it is a perfect place to raise a family. Our children enjoyed a degree of freedom that was unusual for these days. They built dens in the woods and campfires down by the pond. They camped out in the garden with friends. They tried with mixed results to row boats and ice skate on the pond. We could be on the beach for night-time picnics within twenty minutes of getting home in the evening. As they grew into teenagers, we converted space so that they each had their own studio apartments, which was ideal for us when they were coming home at 3am. They held parties in the garden (not so sure that was such a good idea). Once they started to leave home we used the spare space for a granny annexe and as a home for one of our sons and his family.In the gardens the swimming pool has been a terrific addition, and our family often uses it throughout the day. The gardens themselves consist of 1.2 acres – big enough to be spectacular but not so big that they become a burden. We have focused on creating a low maintenance garden with five elements: a woodland with paths winding through the trees which are underplanted with thousands of woodland plants; the pond which is nearly 1,000 square meters, and full of wildlife, from frogs to herons, swans and moorhens with the occasional woodpecker; the formal gardens with lawns, cottage garden borders and a parterre ringed with pleached cherry trees; the growing garden with large greenhouse, vegetable garden, walled kitchen garden and orchard and finally the relaxing garden with sunny patios and shady corners and space for barbecues and dining al fresco.We are very fortunate to have lived in and looked after this house for over twenty years. Now we feel that we have done our bit in restoring Old House, but it is a bit on the large side for two of us, so it's time to go somewhere a bit smaller and for someone else to come and enjoy it in our place.  STEP INSIDE Immerse yourself in a realm of sophistication as you enter the original hallway, featuring exposed beams and an entrance to the drawing room with a brick-built inglenook fireplace complete with a log burner.
